Maybe there are other coins that offer more privacy but they are not old and famous as Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the most trusted coin. it is affordable to everyone.
Cryptocurrency users look for anonimity and Bitcoin afford the minimum required.
I thinl the biggest advantage of Bitcoin is decentralization.

If they keep quiet and not tell anyone their Bitcoin address then they can stay anonymous. That is why most people like using Bitcoin for certain transactions.

What the point to accept bitcoin in businesses? There's so long transactions and high fees.. For me bitcoin is just as a digital gold. To pay for different stuff it is cheaper, faster and better to use some other coins like litecoin.

This is just another dip, and it will end at some point, i still can not understand why there is a lot of people always being drowned on their own fear. People, there is no need to be afraid of this, in fact, the price is going up again right now, $12000 just now.

This is good portfolio. Thanks or sharing. My portfolio at the moment i hold about 20 different altcoin because so many altcoin that has huge potential and i dont know excalty which will be most promising one.

thanks a lot! some of information was usefull!

Many people actually think that Bitcoin is completely anonymous which is obviously false. Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous, everyone can view transaction details. Staying anonymous is really important because someone could use information about your wealth against you. I'm not surprised that quite a lot people decided to switch to Monero or Zcash. They both support fully-anonymous transactions. We should focus on making transaction fees lower. Then we can work on this issue.

This question can be applied to any coin but I see some Ether's advantages. It is reliable, cost-effective, useful and multifunctional.

It will become a stepping stone for other companies to show interest in the bitcoin technology, they may end up accepting it right over the counter but this needs a lot of preparation like use of cards with bitcoin balances. Cause ordering it online you'll end up eating cold lunch, or at least in other countries with bad traffic situations and slow internet connections.
but, of course, this is good news and a good start!

Indeed we should evaluate the coin we invest but the advice and opinions of others also need to be considered besides us do research directly, so it would be better to combine them to minimize the investment risk.

The drop did not seem to last long I think the price is only good for one night and after that, the price of bitcoin is slowly recovering the dip so there's no need to panic. Although the concern here is that influential countries like for example China are seemingly relishing their ban for bitcoin in their place which is why the demand of bitcoin in some place are going down.

I like your portfolio. But I oh, just 1% BTC and XMR
That's quite little in my opinion.

you have good coins ,however, you aren't dividing them properly . put some in STRATIS

Is there a reason you're no longer supporting it that people here should be aware of or is it more of a personal falling out?

I don't know why are you keeping such a big part of your portfolio in ETH right now and I have some doubts about the purpose of some other coins (OMG for example) but looking backward on the crypto market I still belive in their growth. The coolest thing in your thread is that you are one of the few people that bothered to give an explanation to the logic of making investments instead of saying "this shit is good, buy it and it wil make x100". Thanks mate.

Indeed, in my opinion, your portfolio is indeed excellent.
But why not invest in some ICO projects? If the money invested in the ICO project accounts for 20 percent of all your money, you won't care if it goes to 0, but the benefits will be substantial.

A fantastic strategy. I like to do the same, and I support you 100%.

Building a strong portfolio (a good portfolio will steadily increase in value over time, no matter what happens to the individual tokens/coins inside it), deciding on what to trade, what to hold short, what mid and what long term and rolling off your investments is really a way to go.

Timing the market is the hardest thing for trading and short term holding but if you simply follow the general rule you described about when to buy and when not - it should be more or less fine.

One should also have a good tracking system - like keeping everything noted in an app like Blockfolio.
And I also suggest keeping an eye on airdrops. There were a lot of rubbish ones lately, but you can indeed earn a lot by investing nothing except a little time.

I think it is quite difficult to implement country specific regulations. The ICO projects could just bypass it by registering itself in some countries that don't regulate ICOs.
As cryptocurrencies are all about decentralisation, I believe there should be community driven effort to self regulate these ICOs.
I could see there are some platforms trying to do that, it takes time for them to grow and mature and to become the gold standard in the crypto world.
